Genesis: A New Commentary

Meredith G. Kline is famous in the Reformed community
for his teaching and writings in the area of biblical and
covenant theology. In the mid-1990s, just after Kline finished
writing what is considered to be his magnum opus (a study
of the book of Genesis called Kingdom Prologue), he wrote a
brief commentary on the same biblical text. Genesis: A New
Commentary was not published during his lifetime and is just
now being made available to the public.

Many of Kline s former students, as well as many pastors and
laypeople in the Reformed community, consider his work to have
had a transformative effect on their faith and thinking. His teaching
and writings (he wrote seven books and more than seventy
articles) were filled with fresh, insightful interpretations.

Meredith Kline s posthumously published Genesis: A New
Commentary which distills his mature views on the book of
Genesis and, indeed, on Scripture as a whole will appeal greatly
to those who already admire his work, and make his thinking
accessible to a broader audience. The commentary has been
edited by Kline s grandson Jonathan G. Kline, who received his
PhD in Hebrew Bible from Harvard University, and contains a
foreword by Michael S. Horton, the J. Gresham Machen Professor
of Systematic Theology and Apologetics at Westminster
Seminary California.
